On Jan. 5, hackers infiltrated the Twitter account of Telediario – a Monterrey-based media outlet owned by Grupo Multimedios – to call for a change in its editorial line. The first message falsely stated that the governor of Nuevo León state had been killed in an attack. The following messages accused the company of “selling itself” and included a cryptic statement about cartels that several media outlets interpreted as a direct threat to a rival gang.

Thank God I live in America! It isn't perfect, but it's rare we have anything of this magnitude going on. As a journalist myself I'm used to public figures being miffed at me or my colleagues for an editorial that may paint them or their projects in a negative light...but it's hard to complain when one sees what members of the media in the rest of the world must go through. It's amazing that all of this happens right next to us, just a few miles south.
